Learn other languages:

﻿ziyaadspage.weebly.com is mainly an English as a Second Language website with a growing number of activities and self-tests for adult students. I am also planning to slowly add information on three more languages: Arabic, French and Mauritian Creole. ESL teachers are also welcome to use these activities in the classrooms to supplement their lessons. The activities have been created using different websites and apps to make it more fun and interactive for the students.

Now, here is a bit about myself and how the website came about ... My full name is Muhammad Ziyaad Rajabalee but I go by the name of 'Ziyaad'. I graduated with a BSc Biotechnology in 2006 and worked in the pharmaceutical industry. In 2010, I decided to try a new career teaching ESL and I obtained a TESL diploma. When I started teaching in class, I realized it was my calling. The more experience I gained, the more I wanted to make a difference in the lives of my students. I was set on a mission to make language learning fun and to keep my students engaged in class. Since that time, I've been making all kinds of activities for my students using a variety of tools from the whiteboard and marker to the SMART board and online apps ... I thought that it would be good to help save the trees from now on.

I have been working at King Saud University in Riyadh as an ESL teacher since 2010 teaching English as a Second Language to Adults. I teach both general English and ESP to the medical students. At King Saud University, most of the students are Saudis but there are also many international students from all over the world. The students come to KSU Preparatory Year to study English before moving on to their specific faculties. Some of them are almost native speakers while others have almost no English.

During my stay in Saudi Arabia, I was able to attend the part-time evening Arabic Language program at Imam Muhammad University and received a Certificate in 2013 after successfully reaching level 6 of 8 in the program. I am also fluent in French and Mauritian Creole. In March 2015, I decided to share my experience with the world and started this website. My aim is use my knowledge and experience of languages and sciences to help students learn English mainly and but also the other languages I am able to communicate in. Moreover, I am currently writing a language book for English speakers who want to learn Mauritian Creole and it will be available soon.

In the summer of 2016, I moved back to Canada and started teaching ESL and Language and Communication at Canadore College. The North Bay Multicultural Centre hired me in August 2017 for a part time position teaching ESL to residents of North Bay, from refugees to foreign workers. Working has never been so fun!

Last but not least, I once again invite all language learners and teachers to use the material on this website for teaching, as long as the author is fully credited and no plagiarism takes place. Although it's just the beginning, I hope you enjoy the website and benefit from the material and activities I added. I believe that there is always room for improvement and look forward to your feedback. You can reach me by leaving a message on the contact page.

Thank you
